4.  Go To Grandfather Mountain State Park

 

You will find the great Grandfather Mountain State Park situated in the northwestern section of the state. It is roughly 70 miles northeast of the city of Asheville and an exceptional spot for adrenaline junkies.

This pretty park’s namesake, Grandfather Mountain, is almost 6,000 feet high and is, therefore, the official “highest peak” in the entire Blue Ridge mountain range. There are more than 13 miles of hiking trails here. The most popular trail is the challenging Grandfather Trail.

5.  Visit The Wright Brothers National Memorial

 

This is the place on Outer Banks where Wilbur and Orville Wright first took flight and the places where they landed as well. See the reconstructed living quarters and hangar which offer travelers a sense of what life for the brothers Wright was like back in 1903.

Additional attractions include the Wright Brothers Monument, on Big Kill Devil Hill, where they conducted experiments, and interactive exhibits in the visitor center. You can stop at nearby Jockey’s Ridge State Park too.
